Serengeti National Park. Yeah, this is the mother of all safari parks and it didn’t disappoint. Lions, hyenas, dead zebras (lions seem to prefer a bit more protein for breakfast than the dry Weetabix we ate), jousting juvenile elephants, stampeding wildebeest, gazillions of Thomson’s gazelles and pooping hippos.
Within an hour of arriving in the Serengeti, we were mesmerized by the antics of a group of lion cubs playing on and around a kopje (a rocky outcrop) while the females and a male dozed in the high grass. Despite being there with half a dozen other safari trucks, it wasn’t hard to get lost in the moment.
The vastness of the Serengeti means you can’t see it all in a couple of days. We spent about 2 1/2 days there and just scratched the surface. After our first full day, we drove to the northern Serengeti where we had the best stay of our trip. More on that this afternoon.

My wife and I also went on a safari as part of our honeymoon. We opted for a safari beach honeymoon in Tanzania and Zanzibar, we were both so humbled and blown away by the wildlife and the pristine landscape. We had such an amazing time and we both cannot wait to go back again in the near future.
